unconscious and not breathing.
Task - 2 : Revive breathing in the victim by
Nelson’s arm - Lift back pressure method.
1 Place the victim with his arms folded with the
palms one over the other and the head resting
facing the ground with his cheek over the palms.
2 Kneel on one or both knees near the victim’s
hand.
3. Place your hands on the victim’s back beyond
the line of the armpits, with your fingers spread
outwards and downwards, thumbs just touching
as in Fig 2.
4. Gently rock forward keeping your arms

straight until they are nearly vertical, and steadily
keep pressing the victim’s back as shown in Fig 3
to force the air out of the victim’s lungs.

NSQF - Level-5
5. Synchronise the above movement of rocking

back wards with your hands sliding downwards
along the victim’s arms, and grasp his upper arm
just above the elbows as shown in Fig 4. Continue
to rock backwards.
6. As you rock back, gently raise and pull the

victim’s arms towards you as shown in Fig 5
until you feel the tension in his shoulders. To
complete the cycle, lower the victim’s arms and
move your hands up to the initial position.

NSQF - Level-5
7. Continue artificial respiration till the victim

starts to breathe naturally. Please note, in some
cases, it may take hours.
8. When the victim revives, keep the victim warm
with a blanket, wrapped around him or with hot
water bottles or warm bricks. Stimulate blood
circulation towards the heart by stroking the
insides of the arms and legs.
9. Keep him in the lying position and do not let
him exert himself.
Task -3 : Revive breathing in the victim by
Schafer’s method.
1. Lay the victim on his belly, one arm extended
direct forward, the other arm bent at the elbow
and with the face turned sideward and resting on
the hand or forearm as shown in Fig 6.
2. Kneel when the victim is astride, so that his

things are between your knees with your fin-
gers and thumbs positioned as in Fig. 6.

3. With the arms held straight, slowly swing for-

ward so that the weight of your body is gradu-
ally brought to bear upon the lower rips of the
victim to force the air out of the victim’s lungs
as shown in Fig. 7.
4. Now immediately swing backwards removing

all the pressure from the victim’s body as
shown in Fig 8, to allow the lungs to fill with
air.
5. After two seconds swing again forward and

repeat the cycle twelve to fifteen times per
minute.
6. Continue it till the victim begins to breathe

naturally.

mouth -to-mouth method.
1. Lay the victim flat on his back and place a cloth

roll under his shoulders to ensure that his head
is thrown well back.

2. Tilt victim’s head back so that the chain points

straight upwards. (Fig 10)
3. Grasp the victim’s jaw as shown in Fig 11, and

raise it upwards until the lower teeth are higher
than the upper teeth you may also place your
fingers on both sides of the jaw near the
victim’s ear lobes and pull upward. Maintain
this jaw position throughout the duration to
revivel respiration to prevent the tongue from
blocking the air passage.
4 Take a deep breath and place your mouth over

the victim’s mouth as shown in Fig 12 making
airtight contact. Pinch the victim’s nose shut
with the thumb and forefinger. If you dislike
direct contact, place a porous cloth between
your mouth and that of the victim’s. For an
infant, place your mouth over the infant’s
mouth and nose. (Fig 12)
NSQF - Level-5
5. Blow into the victim’s mouth (gently in the case

of an infant) until his chest rises. Remove your
mouth and release the hold on the nose, to let
him exhale, turning your head to hear gushing
the out of air. The first 8 to 10 breathings
should be as rapid as the victim responds.
Thereafter the rate should be slowed down to
about 12 times per victim’s minute (20 times
for an infant).
Mouth -to-Nose method.
1. With the fingers of one of your hand that keep
the victim’s lips firmly shut. Seal your lips
around the victim’s nostrils and breath the air
into him. Check to see if the victim’s chest is
rising and falling. (Fig 13)
2. Repeat this exercise at the rate of 10-15 times

per minute till the victim responds
3. Continue this exercise till the arrival of the
doctor.

Skill Sequence:
Types of filing
Objective : This shall help you to
* File a flat surface.
Filing Method : The method of filing adopted
depends on the type of surface profile to be filed,
the type of surface texture required and the amount
of materials to be removed.
Diagonal filing: This type of filing is done when
heavy reduction of material is required. The
strokes are at an angle of 45°. Because the stroke
directions cross, the surface texture formed clearly
indicates the high and low spots. Frequent checking
of the level is not necessary, particularly, after one
has developed a steady movement of the file. (Fig 1)

NSQF - Level-5
Transverse filing: In this method the file

strokes are at right angles to the longer side of the
work. This is commonly used to reduce material
from the edges. Using this method, the size of the
workpiece is brought close to the finishing size,
and then final finishing is done by longitudinal
filing.(Fig2)
.2
)
Longitudinal filing: The file is moved parallel to

the longer side of the work. Usually all surfaces are
smooth–finished by this method. The filed surface
texture will show uniform and parallel lines. (Fig 3)
Checking flatness and squareness:

Objective : This shall help you to
* Check flatness * Check squareness.
Checking flatness: During the initial stages of

NSQF - Level-5
filing the evenness of the surface is visible to a

reasonable degree of perfection from the surface
texture of diagonal filing. To ensure perfection the
surface should be checked with a straight edge. To
do this, the blade of a Try square can serve as a
straight edge. Flatness should be checked in all di-
rections to cover the entire surface. Light gap will
indicate high and low spots. (Fig 1).
Checking squareness: While checking for squareness,

the larger finished surface serves as reference surface.
Ensure that the reference surface is perfectly finished
before filing the other surfaces. (Fig 2)
Burrs, if any, should be removed before checking with

the Try square. While checking with the Try square,
press the stock against the reference face and then
slowly bring the blade down. (Fig 3) Pressure is always
applied to the stock against the reference surface.

NSQF - Level-5
Making parallel lines with Odd Leg Caliper
Objective: Make parallel lines with reference to

a datum edge using an odd leg caliper or jenney
caliper.
* Hold the job in the left hand if the job is small

* Hold the odd leg caliper in the right hand.
* Transfer the required dimension from the steel
rule to the odd leg caliper.
Method of using center punch.

Objectives : This shall help you to
* Hold a center punch over a scribed line.
* punch by dot/center punch.
Hold the punch in a relaxed manner between your
thumb and your fingers. For centre/dot punching,
place the workpiece on a steel support plate. Place
the punch in position. Rest your hand on the
workpiece while doing so. (Fig 1)
Place the point of the center punch on the line of

intersection (Fig 2)

NSQF - Level-5
Bring the punch in perpendicular position to the

surface of the workpiece. (Fig 3)
Tap the head of the punch with a light blow by a ham-

mer. A heavier blow is required for marking the posi-
tion of drilling a hole. (Fig 4)

Skill Information
Hints on Chipping
* Chip metals adopting safe practices.
Before commencing the chipping we must ensure
the following factors.

NSQF - Level-5
The hammer head is properly secured (Fig 1)
Oily substance, if any, is wiped off from the face

of the hammer.
The chisel head is free from mashrooms. (Fig 2)
Safety goggles are used

A chip guard is installed to prevent chips flying
off. (Fig 3)
Bangles and wrist watches are removed.

Work is properly gripped in the vice. If necessary,
it is supported on a wooden block. (Fig 4)

NSQF - Level-5
The cutting edge of the chisel is looked at and not

the head of the chisel. (Fig 5)
The chisel is positioned to cut the metal in uniform
thickness. (Fig 5)
Chipping is stopped before the end of the surface

to prevent the edge of the job from breaking off.
(Fig 6)
Chip from the end of the job from the opposite

direction. (Fig 7)
Hold the hammer at the end of the handle for maxi-

mum leverage. (Fig 8)

NSQF - Level-5
Inserting and Removing taper shank drill bit
* Insert a drill bit (taper shank) in the spindle of

the drilling machine.
* remove the inserted drill bit from the spindle.
Wipe the drill taper and the sleeve hole clean with
a rag. Align the slot in the sleeve with the drill bit
tang and insert it. (Fig 1)
Lower the main spindle far enough to see the

wedge insertion hole. Throw the main spindle verti-
cal handle to the right and stop the vertical move-
ment of the main spindle .
Wipe the sleeve taper and the main spindle taper hole
with a rag. Align the sleeve tang with the main spindle
slot, and insert it. Start the main spindle, and make
sure there is no wobble. Turn the inclined edge of
the wedge down, and insert it into the main spindle
slot.
Support the bit with your left hand to prevent it from
falling. Lightly tap the top of the wedge with a
hammer. (Fig 2)

NSQF - Level-5
Insert the wedge into the sleeve slot. Lightly tap

the top of the wedge with a hammer. If you cannot
support it with one hand, place a wooden block at the
bottom with the sleeve, and then tap. (Fig 3)
Drilling through Holes:

Objectives:
* Fix drill bity in the chuck.
* drill a hole.
Hold the straight shank drill firmly in the chuck.

Adjust and check the speed of drill as per size. Hold
the job deep in the vice jaws.

NSQF - Level-5
Support the job with suitable parallel blocks.
Bring the drill point drawn for the correct centre

punch position marked on the work. Use coolant
at the time of drilling the hole. At the end of the
drilling, apply less pressure on the drill.
Sharpning of Chisels
Objectives :This shall help you to
* Safety operate a grinder.

Sharpening of chisels: Chisels become blunt by use.
For efficiency in chipping, chisels need to be
regularly sharpened.
Chisels are sharpened on grinding machines
(Fig 1)

NSQF - Level-5
After grinding many times, the cutting edges of

chisels become very thick and are unsuitable for
re-sharpening. They need to be forged and brought
to shape before grinding (Fig 2).
* Before coming Before commencing grinding,

the following procedure should be observed.
* Ensure the wheel guards are in place and are
securely fastened.
* Inspect the condition of the grinding wheel for
breakage and cracks.
* Wear safety goggles.
* When switching on the grinding machine, stand
aside until the wheel reaches the operating speed.
* Inspect the tool rest. If there is more gap between
the tool rest and the wheel, adjust it and position
it as close to the wheel as possible. (Fig 3)
Ensure that there is sufficient coolent in the

container.
While grinding, rest the body of the chisel on the
tool rest (A) and allow the point to touch the wheel.
(Fig 4)
Rock the point slightly on both sides in an arc (B) to
provide slight convexity at the cutting edge. This will
save digging in of the sides while chipping.(Fig 4)

NSQF - Level-5
If the chisel head is mushroomed, it should be

remvoed by grinding (Fig 5)
Useonly the front face of the grinding wheel.

(Fig 4) Do not grind on the sides. (Fig 6)
Any damage to the grinding wheel, if observed, should
be reported to the instructor.
Do not use cotton waste or other material for
holding the chisel while grinding.
Off hand grinding with bench and pedestal grinders.

* state the purposes of off-hand grinding
* name the machines with which off-hand grind-
ing is dostate the features of bench and pedes-
tal grinders
Off-hand grinding is the operation of removing

NSQF - Level-5
material by pressing the workpiece against a grinding

wheel. Work that does not require great accuracy in
size or shape is ground in this manner. Work is held
in the hands and manipulated to the desired shape.
Off-hand grinding is performed for
* rough grinding of a job
* re-sharpening of scriber, punch, chisel, twist
drill and single point cutting tools.
Off hand grinding is performed with a bench
grinder or pedastal grinder. (Fig 1 & 2)
Bench grinders are fitted to a bench or table, and are

useful for light duty work. (Fig 1)
Pedestal grinders are mounted on a base (pedestal)
and are fastened to the floor. These are used for
heavy duty work. (Fig 2)
These grinders consist of an electric motor and
two spindles for mounting the grinding wheels. On
one spindle, a coarse grained wheel and on the other
fine grained wheel are fitted. Wheel guards are
provided for safety while working (Fig 2).
A coolant container is provided for frequently
cooling the work. (Fig 2).

NSQF - Level-5
Adjustable work-rests are provided for both wheels

to support the work while grinding. These work
rests must be set very close to the wheels (Fig 3).
Extra eye shields are also provided for the

protection of the eyes. (Fig 4)

Skill Information :
Use of Try square
* Mark lines on wooden boards/battens
* Test flatness and squareness using a Try square.
A Try square is used for testing squareness and to
mark lines at right angles to the given surface and
edges.
The Try square has two parts. (Fig 1)
* Stock or handle
* Blade
Common uses: Hold the try square in the reverse

position and keep one edge of the blade vertical
on the surface to be tested. Look through between
the edge of the Try square and the surface being tested
(facing source of light). This will show the high
and low spots. (Fig 2)
To test the squareness of edges: Place the stock

firmly against the face. Then lower the inner edge of
the blade on the edge to be tested and look through
between the surface of the edge and the edge of the
blade of the Try square. (Fig 3)

NSQF - Level-5
To test the squareness of ends: Test from the face

and the edge. Hold the Try square as shown in Figs
4 and 5.
While testing the squareness hold the handle firmly

against the surface.
To mark lines: To mark lines on the edge or face at

right angles, hold the Try square as shown in Fig 6.
Use a marking knife or pencil and draw the lines.

NSQF - Level-5
How handle a hand saw

Object : This shall help you
* Cut the given battens, boards etc, with a hand
saw.
Saws are used to cut wood pieces to the required
sizes. Proper holding of the saw gives ring better
control during use.
How to hold?: Hold the handle by inserting 3 fin-
gers (little,ring and middle fingers) of the right
hand in the opening of the handle unit supporting the
opposite side with the thumb. Keep the index fin-
ger along the face of the handle pointing towards
the length of the blade. (Fig 1)
For sawing along the grain, keep the cutting edge

of the saw at an angle of approximately 60o to the
face of the board being cut. (Fig 2)

NSQF - Level-5
For sawing across the grain, keep the cutting edge

of the saw at an angle of 45o to the face of the
board being cut. (Fig 3) Hold the piece with the left
hand at the finishing cut.
How handle a Tension saw

Objective : This shall help you
* Cut the given board an batten to the required
shape/size with a Tension saw.
A Tenon-saw is used for sawing both across and along
the grain, and is particularly suitable for fine cut-
ting for light jobs
How to hold a Tenon saw? Hold the handle by in-

serting 3 fingers tittle, ling and middle fingers of
the right hand in the opening of the handle, while
holding the opposite side with the thumb. Keep the
index finger along the handle pointing towards the
length of the blade. (Fig 1).
When starting a cut, guide the saw’s cutting edge

to the marked line with the thumb of the left hand as
shown in Fig 2.

NSQF - Level-5
Initially, mark a ‘Kerf’ at the starting point by taking

one or two back strokes, and then start sawing us-
ing forward strokes. (Fig 3)
Gradually, bring the cutting edge of the saw parallel

to the surface of the piece being cut. (Fig 4) Exert
moderate pressure on the forward strokes, but reduce
the pressure on the return strokes. Reduce the
pressure and make short and light strokes, while
finishing the cut.
Method of using a Steel Rule

Objective :This shall help you to
* Mark perfect lines on wooden boards/battens
using a steel rule.
A steel rule is graduated in both in inches and

NSQF - Level-5
millimeter. (Fig 1)
A steel rule with mm and cm graduations is used

for checking distances, and for taking linear
measurements.
How to use?
To measure between lines: Position the front end
exactly on line ‘A’ with the scale of the rule at 90o to
line ‘B’. Read the distance where line ‘B’ coincides
with the graduation on the scale. (Fig 2)
To measure between edges: Position the front end

of the rule exactly in line with edge ‘A’ of the
workpiece and the scale at 90o to the edge. Read the
distance between the edges ‘A’ and ‘B’. (Fig 3)
To mark the distance: Position the rule as shown

in Fig 4. The required scale graduation is in line
with the marked line. Use a sharp, pointed tool or
scriber to mark.

Skill Information
Setting a jack plane blade
* Set the jack plane blade for rough and fine cuts.
A jack plane is used to plane the wood to the
required dimensions with smooth surface finish.
It is neccessary to set and adjust the plane blade for
even and uniform cuts while planing.
Steps in setting
The two steps in setting the plane blade are:
* setting the plane blade to the required depth
of the cut.
* adjusting the cutting edge of the plane blade
parallel to the plane sole or bottom face.
Setting the plane blade to the required depth
of cut: Hold the plane in the left hand keeping the
sole of the plane in line with your view at a
convenient distance.

NSQF - Level-5
Turn the adjusting the nut in the anticlockwise

direction to the required depth of cut until the
cutting edge of the blade projects above the sole
or bottom face of the plane. (Fig 1)
Adjust the plane blade parallel to the sole of

the plane: Check whether the cutting edge of the
blade is parallel to the bottom face of the plane.
Gently, move the adjusting lever to the left or right
until it is parallel if it is not parallel to the bottom
face of the plane. (Fig 2)
Jack plane - care and use:

* Plane and surfaces and the edges of boards
and battens using a jack plane.

NSQF - Level-5
How to hold a jack plane? It is necessary to hold

the plane properly in both hands so as to maintain
balance and have better control of the plane while
planing. While planing hold the plane as shown in
Fig 1.
How to operate? Start of stroke Apply downward

pressure on the knob with the left hand and push
the plane forward.
Length of stroke: Apply equal pressure with both
hands on both the knob and the handle.
End of stroke: Reduce the pressure on the knob
while applying pressure only on the handle
(Fig 2) at the tail end of the planing until the stroke
is completed.
When setting down a plane on the bench, for

example between operations, ensure that the
cutting edge is clear of the bench. This can be done
by:
* resting the front of the plane’s body on a piece
of wood, or
* placing the plane on its side.

NSQF - Level-5
Any damage to the face of the plane will be trans-

ferred to the workpiece. Ensure that the face is
smooth and free from burrs.
Use of Marking Gauge:

* Mark lines and wooden board and battens
according to the drawing, using a marking
gauge.
A marking gauge is used for marking lines parallel
to the face or the edge at any given distance. Correct
use of the marking gauge will help to produce perfect
and clear lines.
How to set? Release the thumb screw.
Hold the scale in the right hand and the marking
gauge in the left hand. (Fig 1)
Move the stem or beam to the required

measurement between the face of the stock and
spur.
Keep the scale away and tighten the thumb screw.
Recheck the gauge setting for accuracy of
measurements before use.
How to use? Hold the marking gauge in the right hand.
Tilt it forward in the direction of the marking. (Fig
2) Exert minimum pressure for the spur to scribe
a line.

NSQF - Level-5
Ensure that the stock or head of the marking gauge is

firmly touching with the reference edge or face.
Push it forward to mark a line, parallel to the refer-
ence or face, as required. (Fig 3).
Method of Checking Fitness:

* Check the faces and edges of boarders and
flatness.
Wider surfaces of planed boards are checked for
flatness. This is done at a number of places on the
board while planing to ensure that the surfaces planed
are perfectly flat.
How to check? Check the flatness by placing a
Try square across over the board. (Fig 1)
Repeat the above step at a number of places on

NSQF - Level-5
the boand along the length of the surface.

Check the flatness by placing a straight edge over
the surface of the board and lengthwise and
diagonally. (Fig 2)
